AboutPages
TitleMaker 3000can hold over 16,000 characters.They can be divided into
pages.The PlayScreenshows onepageata time.
Text can be divided into new pages anywhere you like. For instance, you
could have simple subtitles, each on a different page, resulting in multiple
pages, each with just a few characters. Or you might have a few long pages,
each scrollingup the screen.
LongPages
Text that is typed past the edges of a page is not erased. When you move
the cursor past the edge of the screen, the invisible text scrolls into view.
If you play a page that has text past the edge of the screen, the extra text
will not be displayed. You can edit the page to show the extra text: break the
line into smaller pieces; use a smaller font, size, or style; or use a scroll or
crawl effect.
• There is no fixed limit on the number of pages or on the number of charac-
ters that can be typed on a page.
• A line can contain up to 1000characters. If you type beyond the 1000 char-
acter limit, the memory warning symbol appears.
• Scrolling pages are limited to 110-115 lines, depending on the number of
characters in the line. The memory warning symbol appears if you attempt
to play a page that scrolls too many lines. If this occurs, break the scroll list
into two pages, or delete some of the lines.
